PCC Controller - 4 1. Description System Controller PCC The Prime Controller Card (PCC) is a pluggable microprocessor controller that provides monitoring and control for a broad range of DC Power Systems. The PCC monitors all system parameters including: DC voltage, rectifier current, rectifier temperature, system capacity, battery parameters, and circuit breaker status. Alarm and warning notifications are indicated by front panel LEDs, and through potential free alarm contacts that allow remote signaling. External monitoring of alarms is accomplished through an RS232 port using the PC-based PowCom software. The PCC has an Ethernet port allowing monitoring and control over a TCP/IP network. Alarms can mapped via SNMP traps to customer OSS platforms such as HP Openview To meet individual site requirements, the PCC contains a Programmable Logic Unit that can be used to monitor and control specified requirements. This allows individual alarm routing and logic operations to be set as actions, alarms to be triggered, and outputs to be activated based on internal and external signal monitoring, comparing, and processing. 2. Specifications Input voltage: 30-60VDC. Input Current: <200mA at 48V. Instrumentation: Interface: Basic functions: Three LED s: Green - OK. Yellow - Message, Red - Alarm. LCD Display with backlight. RS232/Ethernet for remote operation via a PC. RS485 for internal communication with 20 modules. Simple menu-guided operation User-selectable alarm parameters Temperature compensated charging Boost charging, manual and automatic LVD/PLD control of two contactors, voltage or time controlled Battery test, manual or automatic with symmetry measurement. Alarm relay test Software controlled start up after mains outage and battery test Built in Web server and SNMP (Ethernet connection)
PCC Controller - 5 3. Operation The PCC communicates through an alarm interface board and a backplane that connects to the rectifier modules. This section contains basic PCC functions including starting the PCC, adding modules and removing modules from the PCC system. 1 2 3 Figure 3-1 PCC User Interface (PCC-01 shown) 4 5 6 NOTE: The only tangible difference between PCC-01 and 1-149160G is the overall width of the module. The items listed below are identical for both types. 1. Fastening Screw and Retaining Latch 2. LCD 3. Push Buttons for Menu operation 4. Left to right: Power LED (Green), Warning LED (Yellow) and Alarm LED (Red) 5. Ethernet Connection 6. RS232 Interface Connection
PCC Controller - 6 3.1 Starting the Controller When power is applied to the PCC: The PCC will take approximately 5 seconds to analyze the system and test all addresses for connected modules and units. The green LED on the PCC will blink (Figure 3-1). No alarms will be given during this period. When the PCC finds a module or a unit it will add it to the inventory. The module will remain in system memory until a master reset or a reconfiguration is performed. 3.2 Adding Modules When a rectifier is added to the system it will remain off until the PCC detects it. 1. The PCC constantly scan for new modules and units. 2. The PCC will locate the module, and the new module will give a current sharing fault until its output voltage has been adjusted to the correct voltage. This may take additional time. 3.3 Removing modules Physically removing a module from the system appears as a communication error on the PCC. 1. To remove the error message press the reconfigure button in the Inventory window in PowCom. 2. Make sure that there are no communication faults caused by any other failure before doing this as it will cause all non-communicating modules to be removed from the inventory. 3. This will make all communication faults disappear, but it will not fix any problems so it must only be used if the communication fault is caused by the module being intentionally removed. 3.4 Control Buttons To browse the controller menu, 4 push-buttons are used to scroll and select. CANCEL - Used to go cancel the current selection on the menu hierarchy. When pressed the menu will return to the previous screen.

PCC Controller - 17 3.8 Connecting a Modem A modem can be connected to the serial port using a standard modem cable. To setup the modem to auto-answer use the init modem command from the Miscellaneous menu (see menu tree). Some modems may require further initiation to be done before it is connected to the PCC. Please refer to the modem manufacturer s documentation. To dial up the system using PowCom, please refer to the PowCom User Guide delivered with the PowCom software package. 3.9 Boost Charging Open the Select/Adjust menu on the PCC. Boost charging can be activated by three methods: Manual boost charging - Choose U2 in the reference menu for activating boost charging. (Return to float charge manually by choosing U1, or automatically after a pre-set time.) Periodic boost charging - after a pre-set period boost charge will be automatically activated for a pre-set time. Interval and boost time to be programmed (for example 4 hours every 3rd week). Automatic boost charging - when, during a mains failure, the battery voltage falls below LEVEL t1 value, a timer is started. When the mains returns, the system will start an automatic boost. This will last a certain time after the battery voltage reach LEVEL t2. This time will be multiplied with a factor, K. LEVEL t1, LEVEL t2 and the factor can all be set. Voltage (V) Level t2 U1 (Float Charge) Level t1 t1 Mains Interrupt Mains Returns t2=k x t1 Time (hours) Figure 3-7 Boost Charging
PCC Controller - 18 The following values are adjustable for boost charging: Boost voltage 40-60 Volts Boost time 0-200 hours Boost interval 3-16 weeks Boost factor 1.0-16 Boost t1 Boost t2 Auto boost enable 40-60 Volts 40-60 Volts Passive - Active Disabling Automatic Boost Charge: Select Boost parameters in the Adjust limits menu. Push RETURN, up arrow and RETURN / then select disable. NOTE Most manufactures of sealed lead acid batteries do not recommend boost charging. If this type of battery is used, the boost function should be totally disabled by settings as follows: Boost time = 0; U2= U1 3.10 Battery Test The following section contains the procedure for testing the batteries in the system. Battery testing is activated by selecting U3 (in the Choose reference menu.) Once selected the rectifier voltage will decrease to a pre-set value (U3, adjustable). The battery test will automatically be interrupted and output rectifier voltage will raise to U1 level, if programmed time or end voltage is reached during the test. The test is considered as accepted if time causes the interruption. If the battery voltage reaches programmed end voltage, the battery is considered as faulty, and an alarm will be indicated and further automatic testing is interrupted. Battery tests can also be set to activate automatically 1-6 times a year. In the Choose Reference menu, select Select no. of tests. Parameter Settings. The parameter settings feature allows for the partial discharge of the batteries (approx. 30-40% of the capacity) in order to test the batteries for errors. The settings should be done according the battery manufacturer requirements, however, the following settings can be used for standard VR lead batteries:
PCC Controller - 19 U3 = 1.9V/cell End voltage = 1.94V/cell Time = 40% of expected backup time Parameters to be set/adjusted from the battery test menu or PC with PowCom installed. Battery test voltage:u3 0-100 Volts Symmetry limit: 0.0-4.0 Volts Test end voltage: 0-100 Volts Test duration: 0-20 hours Time of test: 0-23 (0=midnight) No of test/year: 0-4 No of batteries: 0-12 Battery type: 4 blocks, 3 blocks or 2 blocks Number of batteries must be equal to number of symmetry measurements. If symmetry cables are not in use, number of batteries must be set to 0 (zero). 3.11 Temperature compensation The PCC module can adjust the charging voltage to compensate for temperatures above or below 20 C. T>20 C lower charging voltage. T<20 C higher charging voltage. The zero point for temperature compensation can optionally be set to 25 C. The temperature compensation function can be enabled and disabled and the level of compensation is adjustable. 3.12 High load The High Load alarm is activated when the load current exceeds the capacity of the installed modules multiplied by the high load limit. This is an indication that the system requires increased rectifier capacity.
PCC Controller - 20 4. Ethernet Connection The controller can be connected directly to an Ethernet 10 base T network for supervision using a Web interface. The Web interface will allow setting of parameters. The parameters should be checked so that only legal values are set. Web supervision requires any graphical Internet browser (ie MS Internet Explorer, Mozilla, Firefox, Netscape or other). It is convenient for administration by network connection. NOTE For connectivity verification in the network between a PC and the PCC controller it is possible to use ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol). It is chiefly used by the operating systems of networked computers to send error messages - indicating, for instance, that a requested service is not available or that a host or router could not be reached. The tool ping is used directly by user network applications. It sends Echo request and expects Echo replay. PCC can work with 32 Bytes only (Windows ping default). 4.1 Commissioning For successful installation of an Ethernet connection, follow the instructions below. 1. In order to communicate with the site network, a valid IP address, netmask and default gateway are required. These should be provided by the site network administrator. These should be obtained before continuing with the installation. 2. Enter the IP address, netmask and gateway using the Miscellaneous network menu on the LCD display. (Alternatively you can set this via Powcom and a RS232 connection) 3. Connect to the controller using the Ethernet interface located on the Controller frontplate. Connect this directly to the remote Ethernet 10 base T network connection. 4. Start the internet browser on the PC and enter the IP address of the PCC to start connection.on the first connection both the user name and password shall be left blank. The user name and password can be changed in the Configuration - Admin menu on the left hand of the screen. See Admin Configuration on page 6-19. There is only one user and only one level of access. NOTE Until the user name and password has been changed the user name and password should be left blank when logging in.
